Palaeontinidae, commonly known as giant cicadas, is an extinct family of cicadomorphs. They existed during the Mesozoic era of Europe, Asia, and South America. The family contains around 30 to 40 genera and around a hundred species.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Family Palaeontinidae )〕 ==Discovery== The first palaeontinid discovered was ''Palaeontina oolitica''. It consisted of a single forewing〔 collected from the Taynton Limestone Formation (Stonesfield Slate) of Oxfordshire, England by the English natural historian Edward Charlesworth. It was first described in 1873 by the English entomologist Arthur Gardiner Butler in his book ''Lepidoptera Exotica; or, Descriptions and Illustrations of Exotic Lepidoptera''. Butler claimed that it was the oldest butterfly ever recovered, having mistakenly identified it as a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae.
